White Chocolate Chunk Brownies

White Chocolate Chunk Brownies
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup cocoa, unsweetened
1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1 cup sugar
Make the mix:
In a 1-quart canning jar, layer the flour, salt, and baking powder. Using a wide-mouth canning funnel makes this a little easier. Add cocoa and shake the jar just slightly to level the layer. Now add the white chocolate chips then the walnuts or pecans. Put the 1 cup of sugar in a small food storage bag. Seal or tie well then shape into a small enough shape to fit into top of jar. Press the sugar bag into the top of the jar.

Grease and flour an 8-inch baking pan.Take bag of sugar from the top of the canning jar and pour into a mixing bowl. Add 1 stick softened butter. Beat until light. Beat in 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla until creamy. Empty the rest of the jar into the mixing bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until dry ingredients are well moistened. Mixture will be stiff. Spread brownie batter into prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until brownies are set. Cool in pan before cutting into squares.

The first time that I gave this as gifts, the jars were given back with requests for ingredients or a refill for another special occasion! LOL! Since I only share my secrets here, I just give refills for the next special occasion...giggle...

It makes a great Valentine's Day present, too. Great gift for a newly wed couple in the family or close friends! A couple of friends tied the knot while on a cruise a year ago and on the spur of the moment, I decided to give this to them last Valentine's Day when the gal was telling me about the special, romantic dinner she had planned for her DH, but couldn't decide what to make for dessert, so I solved the problem! LOL! A month later, she handed me the emply jar with a request to repeat for the next year...giggle...
